3 × 485-Gb/s WDM transmission over 4800 km of ULAF and 12 × 100-GHz WSSs using CO-OFDM and single coherent detection with 80-GS/s ADCs

We demonstrate WDM transmission of three 485-Gb/s CO-OFDM channels with 16-QAM subcarrier-modulation, each received by a single coherent detection step. Transmission over 48 100-km ULAF spans and 12 wavelength-selective-switches with 4-b/s/Hz net spectral-efficiency is achieved.
